Several soldiers involved with saving Moss have since been honored or promoted. Here are their current ranks and awards they have received. Maj. John Oh, general surgeon -- The Soldier's Medal Maj. Kevin Kirk, orthopedic surgeon -- Army Commendation Medal with Valor SSG Eric Wynn and Pfc. Channing Moss -- Purple Heart CW3 Jorge Correa, MEDEVAC pilot, and Sgt. John Collier, flight medic -- Air Medal with Valor CW2 Jeremy Smith, co-pilot, and SSG Christian Roberts, crew chief -- Air Medal Sgt Jared Angell, field medic, and SFC Dan Brown, explosives expert -- Bronze Star with Valor

,,guess John F kurry's medic who supplied the band air for the scratch on his arm for which and had to fill out a medical report and forward through channels (at kurry's request) must be wondering if he save a possible future US President

Every time I read about incidents such as this one I am overwhelmed by the bravery and strong ties these wonderful people have towards one and other.

How is it possible these heroes are from the same country as the ones who undermine their every effort to keep us safe?

What brave men. And to think Kerry was given a Purple Heart for a paper cut type wound. What a difference in men and bravery.

And yes, the MSM reporter did do a good job on this story.

(And yet, the liberals who want to run this country tell us that the military is filled with poor, uneducated nobodies who had nowhere else to go. RUBBISH!)

No sir, that is the norm with our soldiers. They will lay their life on the line any day to save their brothers in arms. When they fight, they are fighting for each other to stay alive. There are no better men than our soldiers.

And there are no greater COWARDS than the ones out of the 535 members of Congress that argue cut and run....and only fight to same their own political lives by appeasing the "loony left", or the current "opinion polls"!

May they all burn in....!

Maybe we should let them know...

..don't bother, often thoughts of "it's about time" are soon forgotten with the next barage of liberal rants the MSM puts forth, whether it's from Reid, Turban durban,Schumer,or Doodie Dodd...unless they equal uplifting, heartwarming, PRO military stories at least everytime they publish a rant.....it's not worth an email stamp. How soon we forget how easily they let the top DEMS skate by without questioning the MOVEON.org or their COMPLICITY on topic....they still have not distance themselves from them ....and won't
